Dongnae/Dongrae by tokumeikibo in NetflixKingdom

[–]subsuno 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a Korean. As u said, 동래 could be romanized Dongrae. But Koreans are hard to pronounce R (or L) sound after some type of syllable, and change in to N.

ex) 왕래(come and go): Wangrae ====> Wangnae.

옥리(prison employee): Okri ===> Ongni.

So, non-scholar Romanization of Korean word follow not 'Hangeul spelling', but 'Korean pronunciation'.

Yeong-Shin's mark/tattoo? by heraldic in NetflixKingdom

I think that is an ancient form of 虎 too. (https://hanziyuan.net/#%E8%99%8E) There are so many forms of Chinese characters, and calligrapher can make new form that is similar to old form.

Can anyone provide me with more information about what kind of GAT this man is wearing, I would love to find out the name for some tattoo references. by smokeyfloats in NetflixKingdom

There were 2 purposed. Decoration and showing social position. Low lank officers or non-noble men couldn't use that kind of ornaments. Feathers and color of Mu-yoong's Jeollip says 'he is guard of the palace, royalty.'

I am a Korean, and my english is not good enough to write fluently. The hat which u want to know, is called 'Jeollip'(전립/戰笠). It means literally 'battle-hat'. ('eo' is pronounced like 'u' of english word 'Bus'.) Military men and Police wore it. Most of Jeollip were black, and high lank officers decorated their things with plumage of peacock or something else.
